What To Do Following The Accident

Immediately after your accident you should seek appropriate medical care. If you can, take photographs of the accident scene, get names and numbers of witnesses and call the police to ensure that a police report is filed. Taking appropriate action, or having others do it on your behalf, can help your case as it evolves. The liable parties insurance carrier will begin to protect themselves legally.

One thing you should not do is have any direct contact with the liable parties insurance carrier. They may very well approach you shortly after the accident regarding a quick, lump sum settlement. Do not accept their offer as it benefits them and not you. Accepting their offer can actually hurt you later on.

Experience When It Matters Most

The Impact Of Social Media On Your Injury Case

A common occurrence in Maryland personal injury cases is the insurance company seeking you out on social media pages such as Facebook. They will monitor your page, and in some cases ‘friend’ you. From there they are out to make sure you are as injured as you claim to be. With this in mind it is never a smart move to post anything to social media that can negatively your personal injury case.
